Outside of Chicago sits the long-abandoned Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, long rumored to be one of the most haunted sites in the world. Hector decided to return the lump of coal he took from thre in 2013. It just MIGHT be cursed.
A general lack of ghosts inspires the crew to joke around and pull a prank.
